Giving You the Benefit

Lately, I've been tryin' to figure out your mind

And why you dissin' me, poor little me

And why you have a change of heart

And turn it all around then

Try to put it on me, poor little me

(But don't you know?)

I could be your trip, I could make things hard

But baby, I believe that you still got a heat

That's why I

Try to stop myself before I start

'Cause I can make it tough, I can make it rough

But I won't

Well, I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

Givin' you a minute to try to work it all out

And I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

And I'm givin' you a minute to try to work it on out

Baby, work it on, work it on out

(Work, work, work)

Baby, work it on, work it on out

(Work, work, work)

Baby, how could you be hangin' out on a

Town and claim that you're missin' me, poor little me?

When you knew all the time that you could've been

Wit your homegirl, lovin' and a kissin' on me, sweet little me

(Don't you know?)

If you wanna be a man, you gotta work real hard

If you wanna make me feel like I'm your number one then

Nothin' in the world should make us part

'Cause we could make it work

If you take away the hurt from the heart

I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

And I'm givin' you a minute to try to work it on out

And I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

And I'm givin' you a minute to try to work it on out

Baby, work it on, work it on out

(Work, work, work)

Work it, baby

(Work, work, work)

Try to work it on, work it on

Work it on, work it on out

(Work, work, work)

Work it, baby

(Work, work, work)

Keep tryin' to work it on out

I can be a trip, but I choose not to

Deep inside of you, I think there's still good in you, boy

Don't give me no reason not to trust you

Just take the benefit, don't gimme no lip

And I'll be sweet to you

I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

And I'm givin' you a minute to try to work it on out

I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

And I'm givin' you a minute to try to work it on out

I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

And I'm givin' you a minute to try to work it on out

I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

Givin' you a minute to try to work it on out

(I'll be givin' it to you, givin' it to you)

(I'll be givin' it to you, givin' it to you)

(I'll be givin' it to you, givin' it to you)

(I'll be givin' it to you, givin' it to you)

(Work, work, work)

(Work, work, work)

(Work, work, work)

(Work, work, work)

I'm gonna give it, I'm givin' you the benefit

I'm gonna give it, I'm givin' you the benefit

I'm gonna give it, I'm givin' you the benefit

I'm gonna give it, I'm givin' you the benefit

(I'll be givin' you a minute or two)

(Try to work it out)

I wanna work it, baby

(I'll be givin' you a minute or two)

(Try to work it out)

But don't you take too long, baby

I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

And I'm givin' you a minute to try to work it on out

I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

And I'm givin' you a minute to try to work it on out

I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

Givin' you a minute to try to work it on out

I'll be givin' you the benefit of the doubt

Givin' you a minute to try to work it on out

(I'll be givin' it to you, givin' it to you)

(I'll be givin' it to you, givin' it to you)

(I'll be givin' it to you, givin' it to you)

(I'll be givin' it to you, givin' it to you)

(Work, work, work)

(Work, work, work)

(Work, work, work)

(Work, work, work)

I'm gonna give it, I'm givin' you the benefit

I'm gonna give it, I'm givin' you the benefit

I'm gonna give it, I'm givin' you the benefit

I'm gonna give it, I'm givin' you the benefit...
